Jimmy Young recommends his readers to sell dollar just before the Durable Goods Orders release - and sell more, if the number is bad. A risky strategy! What if the number is very good?
Consensus - 0,5 (some says - 0.8). Consensus range: - 3.,5 / + 1.5. The last two numbers has been very strong. A new strong surprise here will prove that US economy is very strong.
Short eur/usd (15 min chart). Will close it with a 10 pips gain - because of the eco report coming soon. Maybe it's wrong, but i'm not a gambler...
Not a bad call from Jimmy Young - but it was time for profit taking, despite a very bad number. I went long @15 (june euro future), but sold again @18, because the action was not good. Maybe I should trade in GBP instead because there are more action here, but I don't like the bigger spread. Did you also trade the news?
No way. I stayed clear of the Euro just before 8:30 EST and good thing I did. The spread got ridiculously wide and price went all over the map. Kermit
